Judge Sets Aside
Robinsoh’Verdict
CHICAGO (AND— A $5,000
breach of contract verdict against
Ray “Sugar” Robinson, welter
weight title contender, wa* act
aside here last week by municipal
; court Judge William V. Daley.
A Jury awarded the verdict In
I favor of Fred Irvin, New York
promoter, on November 9. who
claimed to have entered into a
, verbal contract with Robinson
last June 3, to receive 15 per cent
; of the fighter's receipts for act
j ing as his manager and repre
sentative in two fights.
• # *
THE JURY HAD made its de
cision without sufficient proof of
the contract's existence-. Judge
Daley ruled, and added that Irvin
nad given conflicting testimony
.as to the scope and the obligations
of the contract. The judge also
held that Irvin's attorneys had
conducted themselves in a “preju
dicial manner” during .the trial.
Irvin filed his suit following the
Robinson-LaMoty bout at Comis
key park in September.
